One benefit to living in St Augustine, if they are going to do a night shoot of the shuttle, from my front yard, you have an absolutely awesome view! I thought I was going to oversleep, but I managed to stumble out- and looked where I thought the trail would be, and sure enough, it was almost surreal- you could see the blast off flame, then it slowly picked up speed, then you could clearly see the seperation of the big fuel tanks, and watch them fall back into the ocean, and then you watched the actual shuttle begin its flight into orbit. Just one word for it- awesome. Combination of luck and clear skies I guess, plus being in the correct flight path- All in all, got to watch it for about 4 minutes I'd say. For sure, it's something I'll remember. Gazza, we'll be sure to head down to Canaveral when you come.
